There's quite a nice article on Terry Pratchett and how he's getting on with his Alzheimer's on the BBC website at the moment, here:

It's nice to see he hasn't lost his sense of humour!

I saw earlier that he had spoken out against the NHS and not being able to get the meds he needed.  Also that he basically wants an assisted suicide should he lose too much of himself.  I'm not saying he's a great mind in lines of the like of Einstein, but he's very much a mental man (if you know what I mean) and this is one of the cruellist diseases that he could have developed.

I know what you mean, hun.  His imagination is his livelihood.
